Pune Police Probe Alleged Drugging and Theft at Puja Khedkar’s Home

Police are still awaiting a formal complaint from the family.

Overview

  • Khedkar phoned police around 1:30 am on January 11 to report an incident at the family bungalow on Baner Road in Pune’s Aundh area.
  • Responding officers found five people, including her parents and household staff, semi-unconscious and transported them to hospital, where they were reported stable.
  • Investigators say a recently hired domestic worker from Nepal is missing and is being treated as the prime suspect.
  • CCTV inside the bungalow was reportedly not working, so police are reviewing external footage, taking initial statements, and conducting a citywide search.
  • Reportedly stolen items include mobile phones and other valuables, with a detailed inventory and valuation yet to be provided.
